THE HAGUE, Netherlands - War crimes prosecutors have accused former Congolese vice president Jean-Pierre Bemba of using systematic rape to terrorize civilians during a bloody power struggle in neighboring Central Africa Republic. Bemba is accused of eight counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, torture and rape. Because the number of rapes exceeded the number murdered, ICC prosecutors decided to focus on rape as a weapon of war.
Bemba is the most senior political figure to be brought to trial since the ICC began in 2002.
